Lot Description

From an original mintage of only 5,000, this CHOICE AU $3 gold piece was struck at the height of the Civil War. Olive gold patina graces both sides and the satiny luster clings to the lightly circulated surfaces. Sharp definition remains in the devices. The eye appeal is very pleasing for the grade and will delight any collector of Civil War gold. PCGS 29, NGC 31, CAC 2. Neither CAC coin has ever sold in auction; the most recent NGC coin to sell realized $3,840 in the FUN auction. This date is genuinely RARE in Mint State grades, a high grade circulated coin like this will delight any collector. Cert. Number 3182895004 PCGS # 7984
